Even if he doesn't say another word the damage is already done. I can't count how many people, including famous people with large followings, I've seen saying they will vote for him. If their states have write-in laws, they now will.

I must be on a totally different wavelength because I have yet to hear any single person say that they will vote for Kanye. People are talking about 'splitting the Black vote' as if Black voters are stupid and fall for anything, when the majority of donors and financial supporters of conmen like Shaun King are white, who continually ignored the warnings of black women and continue to contribute to that fraudsters.  Black voters are not stupid and we are not a monolith.

I saw some controversy over posts like this:

I will say my complaints aren't about a black vote as much as it's about younger voters who don't like Biden and are looking for a protest vote. I guess if they do they will probably find anyone to vote for with or without this announcement, but I feel like Kanye gave them a big opening.

This.

 

2Chainz can go sit in his VR chair.  Does he even vote??  Does Elon Musk even vote? 

 

I've talked to my nieces and nephews, some of whom are voting age now and they have told me that buying a pair of Yeezy's (which are ugly, tbh) is different from voting for the office of POTUS.  It is an entirely different calculus.

And I suspect the voices that are loudest on social media (that is, if it's not mostly some Russian troll factory) are the ones least likely to show up to the ballot machines, especially if those lines are long.

The only tweets I've really seen are the ones joking that Kanye's M-I-L Kris Kardashian is likely behind this and also making jokes about what Kim would be like as FLOTUS, taking endless selfies.

Kanye just gave one of the most demented and incoherent interviews to Forbes that I've read next to when Randy Quaid lost his mind. I'm not going to link to it, all I'm going to say is that if anyone thinks that interview and its content is going to move any serious numbers on the left we live in very different worlds. He's a laughingstock online and he needs to be put away.

I read some of it. My stomach churned when I saw people saying he must be right about refusing a vaccine because he knows information we don't. The danger from the media promoting and parading around sick people like Kanye and Trump is incalculable.

I am not seeing anyone saying that because Kanye West said that. Again, the widespread public reaction to him right now is ridicule. His rhetoric is dangerous regardless, yes, but you're always going to find gullible idiots if you go looking. Random outliers do not a trend make, and Kanye is largely regarded as a clown.

    • In a way, it's a shame that Lynne Adams decided to leave the show when she did, because I think Mike and Leslie were positioned very well to become GL's tentpole couple.
    • Correct. Lynne Adams (Leslie) decided she wanted to leave the show, as Leslie hadn't been given much to do since Adams returned as Leslie in 1973 (and now everyone can witness her first scene returning as Leslie in 1973 on YT - unreal) I don't think the Dobsons tried to stop that from happening, as I think they wanted Mike single again. I agree, @DeeVee - they should have let Mike and Leslie have a child together. I wonder it they thought it would be too strange to have two siblings that could also be cousins

      . As far as Ed and Holly go, at least they allowed Ed to show up at the end of TGL and take Holly on a "trip around the world". IMHO, I don't think Peter Simon had as much chemistry with Maureen Garrett as Mart Hulswit had, but I'm glad the show gave them a final scene together.
    • IF this gets a renewal I can't see LY sticking around    
    • Well, I'm glad to know Devane and I are on the same wavelength, lol.  But seriously.  I don't believe there's any other word to describe the machinations that the producers constructed in the name of keeping Greg and Paige apart.  Greg and Paige made Sam and Diane look mature by comparison! Which would have been just as well, since a character like Greg Sumner didn't really belong in the '90's, as the storyline with the task force proved only too well.  If KL had returned for another season, it would've needed a MASSIVE overhaul, including ditching Greg, Paige, Claudia and Anne.  Mack and Karen would've needed to be there for the sake of continuity; and maybe some mileage could've been gained from exploring Gary's new life as a widowed single father.  (I still would've loved to bring back Julie Harris and have Lilimae help Gary take care of the twins).  Otherwise, it would've been a new era for KL, one without The Sumner Group, or stories like Wolfbridge and Empire Valley.

    • Didn't she know when she involved him in her scheme, before the character was introduced? I thought she tracked down Janice's son and poisoned his mind against Rachel in order to get him on board.  It's a bit confusing because in the summer of 1988 we get a lot of Drew Marsten (whom I had forgotten was Nicole's ex) and mentions of a mysterious Countess and also Reginald working to undermine Cory. Drew disappears around the same time Evan arrives, and gradually we get the reveals that he is in cahoots with Iris, Janice's son, etc. 
    • I apply totally different standards. For Felicia & anyone else in Bay City it's reel as opposed to out here in the universe where it's real.  
    • And that is why western civilization is screwed up with organized religion. but thats for another board.
